Hey Heroes! Tomas here, founder and CEO of Pancake Games. The team and I are excited to announce that Pancake Games has partnered with publisher Whitethorn Games to bring Slime Heroes to launch! We’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes this year, and we’re really excited to give you a peek at some of the things we’re cooking up for the game at launch. As part of the showcase, we revealed a new trailer for Slime Heroes featuring one of the many bosses you’ll encounter in the game. You can watch that below: Throughout the game, you and your slime will get to explore a wide, open world with distinct regions that come with their own puzzles and challenges for you to overcome. In the new trailer, we’re showing off the fiery volcanic region with winding, rocky paths surrounded by molten pits filled with lava that must be avoided at all costs. Only the most resilient, corrupted monsters can tolerate such a hostile environment, so you’ll need to make use of your skills and magical powers to make your way through this treacherous area. But be wary — a blazing hot boss bent on your destruction awaits you! That’s all for now! We have a lot more to share in the coming months, so be sure to give Slime Heroes a wishlist and follow us on our Twitter to make sure you don’t miss a thing!
